Excerpts from references from satisfied boat owners:
Last year John skippered my boat Moondancer (Dufour 40) from Tortola in the Caribbean back to Menorca in the Balearics, via Bermuda and the Azores.
John came to us highly recommended and we were extremely pleased with all the arrangements made before, during and after the trip.
At all times he was extremely professional and we found his fee very competitive.
On this particular crossing John arranged for two other crew members and although they sailed through a 60 knot wind there was minimal damage to the boat.
He and his family have a long sailing tradition and his ability is unquestionable. We would certainly use John again and are happy to provide him with a reference.
John Keen delivered my new Hanse 400 from Guernsey to Golfe-Juan in the south of France in August this year. At very short notice he put a crew together, organised the equipment that the boat was lacking (and achieved discounts that I would not be able to access) and estimated that it would take 2.5 weeks for the delivery. 2.5 weeks later to the day, John delivered the boat to me in pristine condition. All that and thoroughly pleasant to deal with as well
Ben and Claire, together with their crew, flew out to Gibraltar and after certain repairs had been undertaken, they then delivered the boat to Torquay, leaving it clean and in good order.
...we found Claire and Ben a delight to deal with and they appeared to be very competent to carry out the contract. We would not hesitate to recommend their services.
...Ben demonstrated excellent navigational skills when exploring difficult waters in the Bahamas.
John was extremely professional, and could not be faulted in his abilities. We will certainly use his services again in the future.
...He has a hands-on approach to troubleshooting, working on all engineering aspects.
...Ben had a very confident and professional command of the boat, always conscious of the safety and comfort of those onboard.
Thank you again for accompanying me on the delivery of our Beneteau 523 this made our maiden voyage of our new boat a pleasure and although all went well it was nice to know there was experience there if it was needed.
Dear Keens Congratulations on a first class job professional both in the execution of the delivery and the updating from you Amanda. I will be only too pleased to recommend you to anyone at our sailing club.
Please accept our thanks for the instruction & assistance during the passage from Falmouth to Salcombe aboard our sailing yacht Irimi.
